Arthur Rackham Lord of the Rings

Today we imagine what could have been had Rackham lived to illustrate The Lord of the Rings. Personally I always thought Rackham’s sienna and umber tones and tree renderings were always very close to the vision I had in mind when reading Tolkien, long before the Jackson films. If only AI could render a 12-hour long animated LOTR epic in this style.... Song is selected to match the visual aesthetic. Tiocfaidh an Samhradh - The Bothy Band, sung by Micheal O’Domhniall.
